The origin of the boomrat has varied over time. In the initial release of the Revival Briefing, which is now considered non-canon, they were described as originating as a biological weapon that survived and bred after wars on the worlds they now inhabit. The current version of the Revival Briefing states that they, along with the boomalope, were originally engineered as a primitive renewable fuel source. While this holds true for boomalopes, boomrats cannot and could never be milked for chemfuel in-game. Meanwhile, their current in-game description also disagrees with the current briefing and supports the now-obsolete original version, stating that their explosive tendencies are either a result of deliberate weaponization or intended as a defense mechanism.

Muffalo
A large herding herbivore descended from buffalo and adapted for both cold and warm environments. While enraged muffalo are deadly, tamed muffalo are quite docile and can be used as pack animals. Nobody is quite sure why they're blue - it might even be some early genetic modification test that just never got changed.

Muffalo are slow-moving, grass-grazing quadrupeds analogous to buffalo.
Taming
Muffalo can be found in . They can either be tamed by a handler or self-tame in a random event.
Muffalo can be bought and sold in other faction bases and from bulk goods traders. Muffalo purchased from traders will be already tamed.
Summary
Muffalo are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.
Muffalo can be sheared for muffalo wool ( 324) every days for 1,700 ticks (28.33 secs) of work. Note that yield and shearing time are modified by the shearer's Animal Gather Yield and Animal Gather Speed respectively.
Muffalo are also pack animals, and will carry up to kg of weight in a caravan. They cannot be ridden.
Analysis
Muffalo arrive in large packs; a herd of muffalo can be a lifesaver in colder biomes. Two or three muffalo usually provide enough leather (or wool if you are willing to tame them) to make a parka as well as a generous amount of meat. But, if enraged, a herd can be a large threat to colonists.
As tamed animals, muffalo are a wool-producing pack animal, which can be found in colder biomes. In a tundra or ice sheet, the only pack animal available is the muffalo. They can survive cold temperatures that would kill most other pack animals. Their wool and leather is also great for cold insulation.
- As a pack animal, horses carry the same weight, but eat less. Horses can also be ridden. However, horses do not live in cold biomes (nor do they produce wool). Without considering horses, muffalo are otherwise great pack animals, holding more weight per food than any other alternative.
- As a wool-producing animal, alpaca and sheep produce more wool per day. Like horses, both alpaca and sheep do not live in cold biomes.
They are almost identical to bison, the main differences being comfortable temperature, leather type, and wool type. Muffalo are also slower than both bison and baseline humans. This makes muffalo safer to hunt, though as muffalo are only 0.1 c/s slower than humans, you should still take care while hunting.

- ↑ Coverage determines the chance to hit this body part. It refers to the percentage of the super-part that this part covers, before its own sub-parts claim their own percentage. For example, if the base coverage of the super-part is 100%, and the coverage of the part is 20%, 20% of hits would hit the part, and 80% the super-part. If the part had its own sub-part with 50% coverage, the chances would be 10% sub-part, 10% part, 80% super part.
- ↑ Target Chance is the actual chance for each part to be be selected as the target when each part's coverage has been taken into account(I.E. Neck covers 7.5% of Torso but Head covers 80% of Neck so it actually has only a 1.5% chance to be selected). This is not pure hit chance, as different damage types propagate damage in different ways. See that page for details.
- ↑ Note that capacities can affect other capacities in turn. Only the primary effect is listed. See specific pages for details.
- ↑ This is the part that everything else connects to to be considered 'connected'.
- ↑ If Moving drops below 16% a pawn cannot move.
- ↑ A Blunt/Poke attack with cooldown of 2s. The actual Hoof is unrelated
Trivia
The original texture was created by Tynan Sylvester himself in 2013, dating it to A2 or earlier and making it one of the oldest textures still in use.[1]

Squirrels are one of the smallest and generally mostly harmless animals on rimworlds. Storytellers often make this the target of your first maddened animal encounter, sending it to attack your colonists.
Squirrels can be found in .
Analysis
With very low health and a low melee damage, one might think this critter to be harmless. But due to its fast speed and very fast attack rate, your colonists may suffer many bleeding wounds very quickly, adding up to a potentially lethal threat. Their small size makes them hard to shoot, and a large group of squirrels turned manhunter can be especially dangerous.
Otherwise, squirrels offer a tiny amount of food when hunted, equal to that of the rat. They have no particular use as tamed animals, not valuable for meat. Even as "bait" animals, rats and hares are better at the task. Hares are faster and just as difficult to tame, while rats are omnivores and easier to tame. Both can be found in all biomes that squirrels reside in.
